What is Kava?
Kava comes from the roots of the kava plant, which grows in the South Pacific islands. People have been drinking kava for a very long time, especially during ceremonies or when they want to relax with friends. It makes you feel calm without making you sleepy. Adding kava to drinks can be a great way to chill out.
The Classic White Negroni
The White Negroni was created by Wayne Collins in Bordeaux. It’s a new take on the classic Negroni. Instead of red vermouth and Campari, it uses white vermouth, Suze, and gin. This mix gives it a bittersweet and herbal flavor that many people love.
Ingredients of a White Negroni
- White Vermouth: Adds sweetness.
